I'm thin and baby is all belly. Hips hurt quite a bit, I'm 27 weeks and need something to help with pain. Would this provide enough belly support?

I'm in a similar situation, and I think so. My only complaint is that I wish it was a bit wider in just the front, but I still like it.

Yes definitely wear it obvious under the belly pelvis area it's not hot at all sometimes I don't even feel pregnant when it's on. This one is the best one I own I have 2 of them. I'm 5'3 started at 113 lbs I purchased the petite and wear it now at 22 weeks in 2nd hook .

I would think it would be very helpful for a hip. It was a wonderful help for my knee!

Hi, my son only used this for maybe 2 1/2 weeks. I'm not sure how long you plan on using it for, but please keep in mind that it didn't feel very sturdy. With my son now at 8 weeks, I know for sure that he would be too big. I ended up giving it away when my two year tipped it over..thank goodness I was able to catch it.

it most definitely conforms. i'm a heavier person, but even my kids sunk down in it a bit. it FEELS great, and yes, it does almost feel like you're in a comfortable supported position when lying down. i just noticed after a few nights that my hip and back felt worse....almost like when i attempted to roll over onto my stomach or side as i always sleep, is when i ran into issues.

NO support for small infant. It's pretty large. Baby would need your full support.

I used this pillow to support my large pregnant belly. It was a great wedge for the evenings and small enough I could move it to either side needed. I did not use this pillow for hip pain.

We just brought our newborn home yesterday :) seems okay but wouldn't hurt to have extra neck support - I'm going to get a small neck pillow

I found this pad quite comfortable and helpful. I use it in a sitting position so I don't put my full weight on it, however. Good luck.

I am 221 and 8 months pregnant.. my DH is about 180..Even when I was MUCH lighter, this thing was TERRIBLE.Just sleep on a block of concrete, it would do you better than this POS will.I think it will cost me more than the purchase price, because we are both going to need medical intervention for the damage this crappy mattress has done to our backs.

Yes. My son loved it for tummy time! It helps cushion their fall if the deside to roll over. But never leave baby unattended because it's a baby! Hope this helps!

I'm thinking its not reccomended because the support straps to keep your baby upright cannot lock in around the legs and pelvis if they are swaddled. However me and my wife still swaddled and just didn't use the supports but if you do this it is at your own risk.

That is what I used this pillow for most of the time. I liked having the flat side against my lower leg and the round side against my top leg. The pillow stayed in place. I rested the pillow lengthwise from my knee to my ankle which gave my whole leg support. I had tried the "knee" pillow that had a Velcro strap but it did not work for me at all! The strap did NOT hold it in place when I rolled over, it was harder then I liked and it hurt my hip (I had hip replacement) as it tilted my leg down as I rested my ankle on my lower leg.Hope this helps you in making your decision.

Purchased this bedrest for post operative recovery from tummy surgery. I also had a C - section but years before....remember it very well! My experience was that the bed rest provided for great support, not just in bed but on my sofa. ( it has a tendency to sink down.). But she needs to walk a few minutes a day to foster recovery.

It lays pretty flat so that would be ok, but I would buy something that gives the baby a little support that you put in the stoller. It's pretty roomy.

I feel if you are experiencing discomfort, this belt is a great product to try at any point of pregnancy. I was able alleviate pain from stretched muscles in various areas.

I would agree with trying different brands as every baby is different. But these and grovia shells with soaker pads are my favourite. My baby is quite slim around the hips and thighs so these are the slimest fits out there. In the first few months you can go through a lot of nappies every day. I reckon if you can get 2 uses out of each shell with changing the inserts, you should look at a least 16 shells and 32 inserts to start. The mistake I made with cloth diapering is that I bought a lot of brands on recommendations but unfortunately some did not suit my baby. Take it easy and build your stash slowly over a few months.

if your baby need a little more support sitting, then no. I would still recommend something with more cushion.we had to make a cover for the back had rest, or put a blanket, because they throw themselves back and hit there heads pretty hard on the wood.
